When a Client Becomes Widowed, They Need More Than Your Professional Expertise.
They need someone who knows what to say, what not to say, and how to connect them with support that extends far beyond your office.
Soaring Spirits combines practical grief literacy training with evidence-informed resources from the world’s largest peer support network for widowed people—helping professionals strengthen trust while supporting clients through one of life’s most significant transitions.
Through the Newly Widowed Packet and practical Grief Literacy education, Soaring Spirits equips professionals to extend their care beyond the conversation by connecting clients to evidence-informed resources and the world’s largest peer support network for widowed people.
Why Profesionals Choose Grief Literacy
Support clients when they need you most.
When a client becomes widowed, your response matters. Professionals trained in Grief Literacy are better prepared to communicate with confidence, avoid common missteps, and offer meaningful support during one of life’s most significant transitions.
Strengthen trust when it matters most.
Widowed clients are nearly three times more likely to change financial and professional advisors following the death of a spouse than the average rate of client attrition. Compassionate, informed support helps strengthen relationships during a time when trust is being rebuilt.
Prepare for the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history.
An estimated $84 trillion is expected to transfer between generations over the next two decades. Many of those decisions will be made by people navigating widowhood. Professionals who understand both the practical and emotional realities of loss are better positioned to build enduring relationships with clients and their families.
Extend your care beyond the conversation.
Through the Newly Widowed Packet and immediate access to Soaring Spirits’ evidence-informed resources and peer support network, your clients leave with more than information—they leave with a pathway to ongoing support, hope, and connection.

“I was blown away when I opened the packet and discovered the depth of resources available to me.” ~Janette, widowed at 65
“When I received this packet from my advisor, I didn’t know what to expect. When I opened it at home, I found a roadmap for survival.” ~Drew, widowed at 49
“My insurance agent included this packet during our claim delivery meeting. Honestly, the packet meant as much as the check. Maybe more.” Myra, widowed at 59
Every Newly Widowed Packet is an invitation to hope, connection, and a path forward—one that begins with you.
